If you can't install Net::FTP, the following works with the ftp.exe
program on NT to get the file /tmp/frazzle in binary mode:
open FTP, "> tmpftp.$$";
print FTP <<EOF;
$username
$password
bin
get /tmp/frazzle
bye
EOF
close FTP
system "ftp -s:tmpftp.$$ $hostname";
unlink tmpftp.$$
on unix, the system call would be this i believe:
system "ftp $hostname < tmpftp.$$";
good luck
